MILESTONE!!

MILESTONE ALERT!

WE

HAVE

OFFICIALLY

REACHED

25

POUNDS!

I REPEAT,

We. Have. Officially. Reached. 25. Pounds!

AND we are at the 8th percentile!!

Everything we are doing is working!

As a parent, this is some of the best news we have ever received! 

Cooper is growing, gaining weight, his brain is developing and catching up, and he is starting to thrive.

It is virtually impossible to force a 1 year old to eat.

Any parent, aunt or uncle, older sibling, or anyone who has baby sat, can relate and understand that.

Before the tube, he was eating 1/4 of his calories orally.

we couldn't get anything else in.

He is now getting his entire caloric intake, plus bonus calories from whatever he eats orally.

Deciding to put in a g tube is difficult, even when you know it is the right choice,

But it is saving our incredible little boy's life.

He is finally able to live, and not just struggle to survive.

And he is finally starting to get a chubby face :)
